What are you talking about?  I'm not aware.

Dulin did get interfered with and Kenny Moor's PI was bull but they are kicking our butt and we should be winning anyway.

No we flat out blow today, story or not this Colts team just did not show up to play outside of JT

Kicker momentum pushing him into the defender. Penalty. 
 

Kenny getting called for PI twice being pushed around and doing what their defenders are doing? 
 

Yeah Pierce dropped a ball and the Oline has pooped the bed, but they are definitely playing against stacked odds. 

[IndyD4U]

I can’t wait to hear the presser after this one

[Dingus McGirt]

I’m sorry, but it has to be said.  
 

“Fire Frank Reich.”

[Mr.Debonair]

Gilmore is 9 Yards off against Rex Burkhead

Some in here - Wentz for MVP, Commanders end up 8-9. Crickets. 

I'll bet you anything Wentz and the Commanders will have a better record than this team.

The only thing worse then this game will be Reich's bumbling post game presser

Colts pressers are the worse. Reich has no answers for this. I stopped watching them because they usually just make me madder.

that is why gus bradly was a bad hire its just rush 4 play zone every play

And his players could be counted on to make penalties. Very undisciplined!

[2006Coltsbestever]

I guess nothing should shock me anymore with this team. What a let down.

[colts89]

The defense isn't playing well at all, but the Texans are moving the ball through penalties and busted plays by our LBs more than anything else. Leonard coming back will be a godsend.

Sunday depression is back baby.. Lol

Doesn't matter lots of season left

 

I have seen posts here about tanking the season 

 

I get people are upset but good lord 

 

Lots of season and the colts are obviously so talented and so well coached that they had so much room for mistakes it won't matter.

[bestQBever]

if we start 3-3 rather than 1-5, our season can be salvaged

Not after Week 1.  But, obviously, he has to be sensing the seat could be warming up at any point.

 

Our last 3 games have been massive embarrassments.

Wow, bush league play....all on the coaches!

 

 

Hmmmmm. All on the coaches eh? Yes they deserve some blame. Who drafted the D and O line men?

[Roosarioo]

Get rid of Ballard while you’re at it. I’m sick of seeing this team play zone D year after year when every top D in the league plays predominantly man to man.

After 1 game, that is an amazing prediction. We will see.

That's not a silver lining, it's a curse. Unfortunately, the Colts will do better later in the year. They've always started off badly and it's what keeps them out of the playoffs or a fringe team... 

Fair point. No one can claim to its coincidense anymore. 

Personally I dont think it helps that its all they talk about in house and its all the players are being asked about by the media in the weeks leading up to week 1. That's bound to mess with the players heads.

 

No excuses though. Todays performance has been awful and they need to figure out why so we can avoid a repeat next week. 

[Wyldhorsefan]

I really had a bad feeling since I heard that Leonard was going to be out. Not that I think it would of matter that much from what I'm watching. 1st Notre Dame now this. Football gods just not on my sideth8s wek  Oh well... at least my high school team won big on friday

[Happy2BeHere]

This game is just pathetic. I put part of the blame on not playing the starters a bit more together in the preseason as well. But it’s clearly more than that. We don’t acquire enough talent via free agency, whether that’s entirely on Ballard or not is not known because we don’t know what he was or wasn’t willing to pay players to come here and if they wanted to or not, but it clear we just suck.

tbh, Ryan looks ok. Can’t help a receiver dropped the ball and another couldn’t make a play on a deep ball.  Playcalling looks to be the issue right now, like almost every year for us.

I agree on the play calling issue.  I like Reich as a HC, but I dislike him as an OC.  To me, he has to hire a real OC to take over the offensive reigns.  I’ve been of this opinion for the prior 2 years.

[Smoke317]

Imagine if Sirianni and Flus both win today & we lose again with Frank.

As a reminder…the Colts destroyed this team twice last year giving up a total of 3 points in two games. Yet we are finding a way to get blown out by them today. 

This isn't the same team we played last year. Mills has another year of experience, they brought in some good FAs, and brought in a much better coaching staff.

Am I the only calm one right now?

we're losing to a garbage team and we are playing down to their level.

we're not playing down to their level this is what i seen in preseason when our starting Oline was getting worked over by the 2nd string team D.

you cannot win with this Oline it's not about the wr's

 

and what happen to the great D we were suppose to have with the passrush?

Good gosh Matt Ryan, didn’t think you could be worse than Wentz but today you proved me wrong.

We may have to call old man Rivers out of retirement!!

Fify 

[Smoke317]

Why would we decline that? Thank goodness that wasn’t correct.

Why would that matter?

It's week 1 

Remember that

 

[chad72]

I’m liking the Bears game so far, much better to watch.

[Old Man and the COLTS]

All we need now is a left handed pass

Matt has 1 bad game, Wentz blew our season in the last 2 games, go lick Wentz shoes and root for Washington.

[TheNextGM]

Colts might be the only 0-1 team in the South. Terrible loss

[danlhart87]

Every loss people lose their minds here

Colts supposedly got better too though. Your point still stands.

Well, missed tackles can be on the players.  And Mills was thought to be pretty heady and pretty accurate when drafted.

True, but highly regarded, Superbowl winning DC should be able to create a scheme that can at least contain him, if not neutralize him.
